Cora Bett Thomas Realty Agents Recognized for Internet Marketing Excellence


Nationally renowned real estate marketing and technology speaker and REALTOR.com® Vice President, Max Pigman, recently presented Marjorie Maddox and Peter Nelsen of Cora Bett Thomas Realty the “Real Estate Online Marketing Award of Excellence.” The Award of Excellence recognizes top agents who consistently provide great marketing services on behalf of their buyers and sellers.


“There are always some real estate agents who distinguish themselves from other agents by doing a little more for their sellers.” says Max Pigman, Vice President of REALTOR.com®. Cora Bett Thomas Realty provides it agents with enhanced features for every listing on REALTOR.com. The enhanced features provided to all agents are additional photos, customized headlines, video tours, and showcase status for each listing.


“Our agents and clients appreciate that we help bring more attention to the unique selling attributes of their home and ultimately help attract more qualified buyers. Buyers are also appreciative of a well presented home that has a better description and more ways to learn about the property before arranging an appointment,” said Cora Bett Thomas, president and CEO of Cora Bett Thomas Realty.


The excellence award was presented to Maddox and Nelsen and other agents at a recent real estate marketing and technology seminar that demonstrated cutting edge techniques for leveraging the Internet and technology in real estate marketing. “Videos have become an essential tool for marketing a home. I add videos to my listings because buyers today want the whole story. Pictures can hide defects or undesirable features, but with video everything is there. There are no surprises that could waste the time of a buyer,” said Nelsen. The agents at Cora Bett Thomas Realty have received positive responses from buyers and sellers alike.
